Pokémon Platinum: A Guide to All Eevee Evolutions

Discover how to get Leafon, Glaceon, Espeon & more

Co-authored by Ishrak and Janice Tieperman

Last Updated: June 18, 2024 Fact Checked

Pokémon Platinum gives you the opportunity to evolve your Eevee into one of 7 different evolutions: Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know about getting each evolution, including the items you’ll need (for Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon), the friendship levels you’ll need to reach (for Umbreon and Espeon), and the locations you’ll need to visit (for Leafeon and Glaceon). In no time at all, your Eevee will be evolved and ready to enter the battle.

Things You Should Know

Use a Fire Stone, Water Stone, and Thunder Stone to evolve your Eevee into Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon, respectively.
Max out your friendship level with your Eevee. Then, level it up at night to evolve it into Umbreon, or level it up during the day to get Espeon.
Level up your Eevee near the Mossy Rock to get Leafeon, and near the Ice Rock to get Glaceon.

Flareon is the Fire-type evolution you can get with a Fire Stone. Select the Fire Stone from your “Items” pocket, and then select the Eevee in your Pokémon party. At that moment, your Eevee will evolve into Flareon.

Vaporeon is the Water-type evolution that’s obtained with Water Stone. Pick out the Water Stone from the “Items” section of your pocket and select the Eevee in your party. Thanks to the power of the Water Stone, your Eevee will automatically evolve into a Vaporeon.

Jolteon is an Electric-type Pokémon that evolves with Thunder Stone. Highlight the Thunder Stone in the “Items” portion of your inventory and give it to the Eevee that’s in your Pokémon party. Then, watch as your Eevee transforms into the Jolteon evolution.

Umbreon & Espeon

Level up an Eevee with high friendship levels to get Espeon or Umbreon. Give your Eevee a Soothe Bell, which can be found in the Eterna Forest and in the Pokémon Mansion—this helps raise a Pokémon’s friendship levels.^{[3]

Leafeon

Download Article

Head to the furthest west edge of the forest until you reach the Moss Rock—this is a large, prominent stone covered with moss in a patch of sunlight. Try to fight a wild Pokémon in this area so your Eevee can level up; once it does, it’ll automatically evolve into Leafeon.^{[8]

Glaceon

Find Route 217, which is a little bit south of Snowpoint City. On the furthest east section of this area (in a spot with a heavy blizzard), look for the Icy Rock behind a nearby house. Then, fight a nearby wild Pokémon and level up your Eevee—afterward, it’ll evolve into Glaceon.^{[9]

Question

What if my Eevee is past level 20 and I want to evolve it into Glaceon or Leafeon?

Jackson Williamson

Community Answer

Eevee will evolve into either Glaceon or Leafeon at any level, they just have to be in the same route as the ice rock or the moss rock.

Question

How can you breed Eevee if you only have one and you also don't have a Ditto?

Jackson Williamson

Community Answer

Breed it with a Pikachu or anything in the Field egg group. Eevee and the Eeveelutions are in the Field egg group, so you can try that.

Tips

Not sure where to find Eevee? Visit Bebe in Hearthome City; she lives pretty close to a Pokémon Center. When you talk to her, she’ll give you a free Eevee. After you’ve defeated the Elite 4 and received the National Pokédex, you’ll also have a 5% chance of catching an Eevee in the garden each day.^{[10]
